Kevan Smith 2 more hits.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Apr 17, 2018 -> 09:34 PM) Time to pull the plug on this pitcher. NO MORE of him please. Should have never been resigned. Call up Kopech, Clarkin from AA, let Renteria pitch, bring back the Ghost of Lamar Hoyt, I don't care just get this guy out of here. One more start, maybe. Then, he has to go.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 16, 2018 -> 06:38 PM) Saw a shot of the park an hour ago. It was sunny. Radar still has some cells moving south toward Oakland. We’ll see. Still going to be windy and cold. Kinda like the Oakland Mayor.

Moncada still hasn't any stolen base attempts.

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Apr 12, 2018 -> 10:23 PM) I can't get excited about prospects anymore until they come up to the bigs and have success there. Moncada and Giolito have taught me that. Also, whether or not the guy is a young player, everything about spring training means nothing. Velocity readings for pitchers, whether or not they have their command, whether a hitter shows power or a good eye, nothing. Only the regular season or playoffs matter, and it has to be in the Majors. Nothing matters until there. All the levels of minor league baseball are for is to weed out those who clearly can't make it at the big league level. How about the Japanese Minor Leagues?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 12, 2018 -> 10:15 PM) Check out the thread in Pale Hose Talk - I got video of Joel Booker's steal of home to win it for the Dash. Booker's steal of home made the ESPN Top 10 Play List.

Anytime you have a position player who is the worst starter in MLB at that position, you need to bench him or send him down. Hahn must have missed that lesson at GM School.

Geez, Barnum is 0 for 10 with 8 K's.

There is another reason why Moncada might not achieve his potential in a White Sox uniform: Because, he plays in a White Sox uniform. This has the potential to be a really bad team, and Moncada is stuck here, while the Red Sox are competing for the playoffs.

Of course, we should extend Avi and Jose. Considering all the bone headed mistakes this franchise has made, so what if we overpay slightly.

Soria was mentally and physically exhausted from last night's effort in Toronto.

All of which begs the question of why the Twinkies built an out door stadium in Minneapolis a couple of years ago.

Please give Santiago the night off.

Temperatures in the 30's is the only way to offset the meatballs thrown by Sox pitchers, particularly Santiago and Gonzo.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 04:24 PM) If those five players you just mentioned are a part of the next playoff team, or contribute back pieces to it...it?€™s a win. Another takeaway is that Preller has an encyclopedic obsession with Latin America, but pushes borders ethically, lol (see fired Braves’ GM or Chris Correa of the Cards/Astros.) Time will tell. They did make the right call on Quintana at that High A/AA stage...and he got them back Jimenez and Cease. For all we know, that one waiver claim is what pushes the rebuild over the top. Sox got very lucky on the Quintana pickup.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 10:00 AM) I don't know, I think you are taking things pretty literally. All Thomas has to do is have his agent indicate he is a tough sign, which is true and because he has college he has leverage, as the sox would probably have discussed an overslot deal with him. That signal will scare most teams away as the later they are picking in the first the smaller their budget. Or, a team still interested will have the opportunity to try and beat white sox offer. Thomas has leverage because of college to do that. Can he have an agent while in high school and still go to college and play there?

Didn't the same think happen with Rutherford/Yankees in 2016? "Don't draft me, I want to play for NYY" Several teams passed on him that very well might have taken him.

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Apr 1, 2018 -> 09:45 PM) It's still early but that doesn't surprise me It's okay, I just hope we get a MLer outta it Rutherford isn't projecting too well, Clarkin hopefully can be a backend guy one day and hopefully Polo can be a 4thOF Yanks got what they needed from our three guys last year to go deep into playoffs.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Mar 29, 2018 -> 02:48 PM) Madrigal has been the guy I've wanted all along. Something about him screams he's going to be the next Altuve to me. Is he still hurt?

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Mar 28, 2018 -> 09:09 PM) I know the Sox are probably looking at 75 wins this, but goodness I'm so excited for baseball again. Already working on my tickets to the May 15-17 series between the Sox and Pirates (as I live in Pittsburgh).... Vegas Over/Under was 70 a few days ago.

QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Mar 1, 2018 -> 09:54 AM) If Moose wanted a 1 or 2 year deal I'm sure he could take it right now. I don't think any team is that tied to a second round pick if they think Moose is going to make the team that much better. My two cents. Right. Plus, if he re-declared free agency a year later, there is a new draft pick.

Does anybody here have a list of pro jocks who recovered from ruptured Achillies?

Used to be either May 1st or 15th.

QUOTE (GermanSock @ Feb 20, 2018 -> 05:27 PM) Btw according to fangrqphs last years draft (after they played short season): 1. McKay 60fv (22) 2. hiura 55fv (24) 3. Wright 55 (26) 4. Gore 55 (33) 5. Lewis 55 (38) 6. Greene 55 (42) 7. Addel 50 (66) 8. Lutz 50 (68) So I think at 5 the sox should probably be able to get a 55 or so, definitely a top100 prospect right away or after a good short season. Where was Burger?

I don't like the 13 man pitching staff. 12 is plenty.
